Terrorist Zakir Musa may be hiding in Punjab

CHANDIGARH Security agencies in Bathinda and Ferozepur districts of Punjab were on Thursday put on high alert following intelligence reports that Kashmiri terrorist Zakir Musa could be hiding there.

Reports suggested that Musa— the chief of Al-Qaeda affiliate Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind with suspected links to Jaish-e-Mohammed— could be disguised as a Sikh and wearing a turban. Posters with his photographs, including one of him disguised as a Sikh, have been put up in both districts.

Musa was a student in Punjab’s Mohali district from 2010-13 before joining militant ranks.
